Citizen Thinks Walnut Cove ;
the Logical Point For i
" j
Such An Enterprise.
BAPTISING SUNDAY'
I
Death Of N oun* Lady A Oueer
Spectacle Capt. I.andreth |
On the Weather—Person
als and Other Items
From Walnut Cove.
Walnut Cove, July 13. - The!
remains of Mary Emily, the!
eleven year old daughter of Mr. l
and Mrs. Levi Lackey, of Wins
ton-Salem, and the niece of Mr.
and Mrs. Jno. R. Lackey of this
place, arrived here Monday on |
the afternoon train and were
carried to the family burying
ground near Lawsonville where
interment took place today. The
little girl passed away early
Monday morning at the City
Hospital in Winston-Salem after
an illlness of several days of
appendicitis. Her parents, four
brothers and four sisters survive.
As a result of the recent
revival meetings held here a few
weeks since by Rev. J. W. Ham
five persons were baptized Sun
day afternoon in the pool near
the Baptist church by the pastor,
Rev. A. L. McLendon. Services
were held at the Baptist church
immediately after the baptizing
ceremonies.
A queer spectacle, humorous
:in its aspect, greeted the sight
seers on the streets late Sunday
afternoon when a large auto
mobile approached drawn by the
motive power of a horse and a
mule. In the car were seated
six stalwart young men who had
started out for a pleasure trip
from Mayodan to the mountains
of Stokes. The usual thing
occurred, the engirt Stopped
and for reasons of its own . re
mained immovable. As a last
resort the mule and horse were
pressed into service to tow the
ponderous machine to a repair
shop at this place. After depos
iting the burden in the garage
the young fellows walked over to
the station in the face of a strong
rain and secured a berth on the
northbound freight.
Capt. W. P. Landreth, who is
Muite a novice aiong agricultural
lines as well as a proficient
mechanic, was on the street
Saturday demonstrating some
big, juicy red strawberries which
grew as a second crop this year.
The captain speculates on weath
er conditions somewhat and he
informs us that if it rains on the
first Dog Day it will rain each
day for forty days. Only a few
drops fell here on that day
and according to the conclusions
drawn the next six weeks will be
seasonable but not to
extreme.
A progressive citizen casually
asked the other day why Walnut
•Cove could not ha?e a fair. He
-wisely stated that this was the
logical point for a county fair on j
account of its accessibility toj
every section of the county and
that one of the warehouses could |
be used for an exhibit hall. It;
would be a great step toward !
establishing a close relationship j
between the faimer and the i
business man while the capital!
required would be a small matter. I
It is a question for the wide
awake board of trade to consider. !
Mr. and M rs. W. G. Dud son
and daughter. Miss Willie, spent
Saturday and Sunday at Pied
mont Springs.

! INSTITUTES SOON. I
i
To Be Held For Farmers
In Stokes Next Month. I
I
Farmers Institutes will be
i hold in Stokes at Walnut Cove
;on August sth and at Dillard on
! August 12th. At the same times
' and places Institutes for women i
i will be held and the public is
cordiailv invited to attend,
j Mr. T. B. I'arker. who is the
j director of the Farmers Institu
tes to be held in the State,
j writes as follows:
j Farmers' Institutes have pas
| sed the experimental stage. The
, development along ail agricul-i
: turai lines is a silent testimony
'of their worth to the farmers of
I the State. But we are not con
jtent with past achievements,
j \Ve want to go forward and lend (
our influence to a still higher
agricultural development.
This year we are laying em- 1
phasis on diversification of crops;
soil improvement: more live
i stock; more corn, wheat, oats, j
hav, etc.. so as to make our
| farms self supporting and enable
' our farmers to keep the money !
at home that has heretofore:
! been going to other states to
! purchase the things that we J
should grow at home. Any
thing that you can say to heln
bring the farmers out to the
institutes, and help bring about,
the wholesome condition of grow-,
ing our own feed and food pro-,
ducts will be greatly appreciated.
It is our purpose to hold
women's institutes in connection
with the institutes for men. We
want the farmers' wives and
daughters to attend these in
stitutes. While the men are
discussing the more important
topics of health, food for the
family, how to lighten women's
work, the care of children, the
value of a garden, the necessity
of fresh milk and butter in the
home, and a number of other
' things that lie close to the
hearts of the women on th*
farm.
